ALB and laryngotracheoesophageal cleft: The application of PS has been adopted to induce LC, which is superior to human serum albumin in terms of model stability, consistency, and the absence of high mortality, as no animal died during the cirrhotic stage of ACLF development in our study, whereas Li et al (2017) previously reported that in a human serum albumin–induced ACLF rat model, almost 23% of rats died during the fibrotic stage of model development (Li et al, 2013).
